Besi lifts targets and posts record orders on AI hybrid bonding demand

  • Long-term targets raised on AI packaging demand Besi raised its long-term revenue target to €1.7–2.2 billion and lifted the low end of its operating margin goal to 45%, citing stronger hybrid bonding demand for AI data centres and photonics. Higher expected sales and profits support a higher share price.

    This is a new, company-specific upgrade to future growth and profitability that directly lifts the value investors place on Besi.

  • Q2 orders more than double to €292.9 million Second-quarter orders more than doubled from a year earlier to €292.9 million, driven by AI, hybrid bonding, photonics and data centres. The number of customers using its hybrid bonding tools rose to 21 from 15, and management sees momentum continuing into the third quarter.

    Surging orders and wider customer adoption are the clearest evidence that demand for Besi's key AI packaging technology is accelerating.

  • Q2 profit jumps 177% on higher sales and margins Net income surged 177% to €89 million as revenue rose 68.7% to €249.9 million, helped by hybrid bonding, photonics, data centres and mobile demand. The company guided third-quarter revenue 10–15% higher than the second quarter, pointing to continued growth.

    The profit surge and upbeat guidance show the AI-driven demand is already flowing into earnings, which is what ultimately drives the share price.

  • China AI model jitters hit chip equipment shares Besi fell 4.5% as European tech stocks sold off on fears that China's new Kimi K3 AI model rivals top US models, potentially reducing demand for semiconductor equipment. This is a sentiment-driven risk, not a change in Besi's own business.

    It is a real counterweight: a broad, external fear that can pressure Besi's shares even when its own orders and profits are strong.

Shijia Photon's 2.8B yuan raise and 45% profit jump ride AI optical demand

  • 2.8 billion yuan private placement for optical chip capacity Shijia Photon plans to raise up to 2.8 billion yuan by selling new shares, funding high-speed AWG chips, laser chips and optical interconnect parts, plus working capital. This gives the company money to expand output for AI data centers, supporting future sales and earnings growth.

    It is the period's biggest company-specific capital action and directly funds growth capacity.

  • First-half profit up 45.3%, revenue up 50.66% First-half 2026 revenue reached 1.495 billion yuan, up 50.66%, with net profit of 315 million yuan, up 45.3%. Management said AI computing demand drove rapid data communications market growth and more orders than a year earlier, confirming the business is expanding fast.

    It is the clearest evidence that AI demand is already converting into actual sales and profit.

  • AI computing demand outruns supply, lifting optical names Domestic AI computing demand jumped 417% year-on-year in early 2026 while supply grew only 128%, leaving high-end chips scarce and expensive. As an optical component supplier in that chain, Shijia Photon benefits from this shortage and the resulting rush to build AI infrastructure.

    It explains the broad industry force pushing demand toward Shijia Photon's products.

  • Semiconductor supply chain rally lifts STAR-listed shares A broad semiconductor rally, helped by HBM memory demand forecasts and new AI model releases, pushed Shijia Photon up 10-12% in a single session. This reflects strong investor appetite for AI-linked chip stocks, though such sharp daily swings can reverse quickly.

    It shows the market sentiment currently amplifying the stock, while noting the risk of fast reversals.
